2017 CX-5 in Machine Grey over here. Not a fan of chrome or plastidip, so I'd like my rear mazda emblem to match my paint. Any ideas or suggestions?

Have you thought about smoking it? Give it a black chrome look? I think it'll look great on machine grey. I did smoked mine when I had the mazda3, might do it on the cx-5 when I have time. I love the black chrome look, still gives it a stock look without looking too aftermarket.
I like it.
Question though - how did you remove the Mazda emblem, and how did you put it back? Did you use just the double adhesive.
Hi lowincash,I am planing to paint it on my CX-5. I would like to know what spray paint brand for clear coat, It is tamiya PS 58 or another one?I used tamiya polycarbonate spray paint, the ones for rc cars. I got the smoked ones and put 2-3 light to medium coats waiting a few minutes between coats. They dry pretty fast. Then used a few coats of clear coats over it. After few tries, I found that applying clear coat to it before it's completely dried gives it a more natural black chrome look. If I wait for the paint to fully dry it's less reflective and doesn't look like chrome anymore. I want to do the black chrome to the front grill and window trims but will need a few bottles since since they come in small bottles.
